Please tell me about your Rhode Island Reds!!

[MamaPoult]

Hi everyone! So I have been super curious about RIR's for some time now. I owned one RIR rooster a few years ago and wasn't very impressed. He would bite me if I went to collect eggs, he attacked and hurt my hens and had the guts to face my big, adult Australorp rooster. I also spent quite a bit of time around neighbors RIRS and was just as unimpressed. But of course I cannot really form an opinion because I happened to own one trouble rooster! So please vote up above and tell me your experience with this breed!! Did I just have a bad experience or are a lot of RIRs like that? Thank you so much in advance for helping me learn!

Keep an eye on them. I would not recommend keeping them around smaller birds like Dorothy. It could cause problems.

And for your sake, I hope they are all hens.
